Greetings. I am a member of Ignite from Sydney Olympic Park and recently got a Golf Australia handicap through them to play in competitions. Does anyone know of any golf courses in Sydney that offers open competition to visitors that will count towards my handicap? As a busy professional I am looking for weekend competitions. Many thanks in advance.

Is it worth joining? I was looking at it the other day.

For me it’s a yes (I am a renewed member) because I wanted the free golf lesson (worth around $50) and also for an extra $99/year I can get a Golf Australia handicap through them. You also get discount vouchers for some businesses e.g. two for one game at your local Strike tenpin bowling club (in Brisbane), etc.

They are also looking to organise some competitions for Ignite members in the future (not sure when though).

So far I’ve got no complaints because I get to play in 4BBB comps (Auburn GC) and one time at Foxhill long weekend (2BBB). But would like to know which open competitions I can enter that will count towards my handicap (on weekends).

I believe that Riverside Oaks and Camden Lakeside both have weekend open comps. Green fees are not cheap but both are really nices courses.

Thanks mate. I just called them and as you said, they are quite expensive. I am looking to play weekly so can’t justify spending that much money per week. For anyone who’s interested, there info are as per below:

I’m pretty sure Marrickville Golf Club offers visitors to participate in comp every Saturday. Comp fee is $10.00 plus $2.00 if it was an aggregate. Green fee is $16.00.

Not sure if it counts towards your handicap but …

Castle Cove will happily host visitors. Bring your golf link card and you will be fine. its a short tight 9 hole course with slick fast greens

Thanks you all for your inputs :) Not much out there but it’s expected.

sundays at barnwell park at five dock is open day around $30 for green and comp fees
its short and tight but you can get 18 in in less than 4 hours

I think they have open days out west at Penrith and Dunheved (st marys) on Sundays…both of which are nice courses

Also Liverpool (on Sundays) which is great course

check out the NSW golf assoc as they have a list of open days

Yep Penrith has an open every sunday

That’s fantastic! Thanks everyone! :)

The NSWGA website is the best source for Open Day information, but it isn’t really up to date.

I suggest you ring any prospective course and check while booking your tee time. Some will accept you as long as you have a golflink number, but others will insist you are a member of a recognised course.

bankstown on Saturdays – best of the lot mentioned so far apart from Liverpool

bondi if your up for a short 3 hour round
